In this study, the effects of dietary chicken egg lecithin on some blood biochemical factors of Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi juveniles and resistance to thermal shock was investigated. Juveniles with initial average weight of 3.10±0.17 were stocked in 12 fiberglass tanks. Four isolipidic and isonitrogenic diets containing 0% (control), 2%, 4% and 6% chicken egg lecithin were used to feed the fish ...

Protein sources are determinant for the environmental impact and nutritiousness of our food consumption patterns. Dietary advices, in terms nutritional values and, more recently, associated impacts, mostly formulated at nationwide level. However, actual patterns variable between individuals within nations, leading to a need personalized dietary advices ensure feasibility potential changes. This...

one experiment was conducted with a total of 2000 broiler breeders (lohman strain) at 74 weeks of age, which lasted for 10 weeks. birds were randomly assigned to two dietary treatments varying in dietary crude protein (cp). the reduced-cp diet had dietary cp level approximately 1.5 percentage units lower than the control (15.5 vs 14.0%). by supplementing 0.13 and 0.1% of dl-methionine and l-hcl...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of Aflatoxins (AF) on broiler performance, organ weight, plasma characteristics, protein digestibility, and metabolizable energy of the diets. Dietary treatments were: 1) control diet based on corn and soybean meal; 2, 3 and 4) control diet plus 1 mg kg-1 AF, 1 mg kg-1 AF and 0.25% mycosorb, and 0.25% Mycosorb, respectively. The results in the A...

BACKGROUND The intake of protein and antioxidants has been inversely associated with frailty, individually. However, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated these associations in considering antioxidants or protein intakes as respective confounders. Further, the cooperative effect of dietary protein and antioxidants on frailty has not been investigated. Therefore, we examined the association o...

High dietary protein intakes are known to increase urinary calcium excretion and, if maintained, will result in sustained hypercalciuria. To date, the majority of calcium balance studies in humans have not detected an effect of dietary protein on intestinal calcium absorption or serum parathyroid hormone. Therefore, it is commonly concluded that the source of the excess urinary calcium is incre...
